Gertrude's Restaurant Feeds Public Education is Smashing Success
Poly Pride was evident at the March 6, 2014 dinner and silent auction at Gertrude's Restaurant at the Baltimore Museum of Art. John Shields, Gertrude's chef/owner, gave an unprecedentedly generous percentage of the evening's proceeds to the Ingenuity Project. Plus, Gertrude's graciously hosted a Silent Auction, benefitting Ingenuity and the students of the Odyssey Club. It was a festive and fun evening with great food embellished with lots of laughter and good times. Many, many thanks to the generous donors and those who worked so hard to achieve this success--too many for this newsletter but available online.
